Pet care experience

Experienced dog handler of all breeds

I can manage most breeds from small to larger dogs. I am confident with multiple dogs at once if I have met them before, I previously lost my senior dog after 15 years and have fostered quite a few senior dogs since, but then went on to foster a XLBULLY for about a year until he found his forever home. I have previous experience in taking care of puppies including toilet training etc :)

5 stars aren't enough! This was a long sitting engagement and our dogs were so well looked after. Lots of updates, photos and videos and in all of them the dogs looked content, relaxed and well loved. That's the important part, they are genuinely loved by Polly and her family and that means everything to us. Thank you Polly, the girls will be back!

Boarding • Jul 31, 2025

I bless the day I found Polly! I was worried my two young dogs would be noisy, mouthy and a nuisance as they are very excitable. We were unable to meet up beforehand due to logistics so it was sight unseen for both of us. However, there were lots of texts beforehand and I did get a good feeling as Polly was so positive and put a lot of my fears to rest. It all turned out brilliantly! Polly is everything I hoped she would be and the dogs were so well cared for. Polly sent loads of photos and videos and I could see Marigold and Daisy May were in safe, kind and loving hands. Shout out to Moses who has the best temperament for meeting and living with a variety of dogs. I know that my two will have gained a lot at meeting and staying with such a calm chap! I cannot recommend Polly highly enough and have already booked our next stay! Saying thank you doesn't seem adequate to express just how much your care of our two means to me! ❤️

We have now had multiple bookings with Polly and could not be happier. Polly is an excellent dog sitter; our two dogs always settle immediately when they go to stay. We get many updates, including photos and videos, and it is great that we can plan trips away knowing the dogs have a great second home if they cannot travel with us.

As long as Polly is available on the Rover app, she is our top choice. Her excellent care, frequent photo and video updates, and most importantly, the love our two small dogs have for staying with her make her an outstanding sitter. We highly recommend Polly and we are already thinking about our next booking.

Doggy Day Care • Jan 09, 2025

Poppy is a fantastic pet sitter, and our two small dogs, Honey and Bernie, would agree. We met the day before to ensure good dog synergy with Poppy's dog, and everything went well. We booked the dogs with Poppy for a day, and she kept us informed with messages, photos, and videos. The dogs were in great spirits when we collected them, but I don't know if they were ready to come home. :) We will be rebooking again very soon. I cannot recommend Polly highly enough.

Doggy Day Care • Dec 13, 2024

We left our doggy with Polly for the second time. The impressions are as positive as the first time we met her. After we picked up our Pumpkin, she behaved in a completely normal way, which to me is the most important indicator that she was comfortable in Polly's home. Glad our dog had a good time while we were at the Christmas party and I could not worry about her at all. Thank you, Polly!

Schedule

Currently studying from home so I have a lot of time to spare for animals. I have a son who is in secondary school and away at weekends with his dad so I’m able to look after pets over night, any time but also times when my son isn’t here if that is more convenient.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment with a small fenced off patio/garden. I am local to dog parks and a big field when walking the pooches. I have one small Portuguese chihuahua who loves to make friends if your dog ever comes to stay, he is playful and friendly and also gentle with cats as my sister and my mum are cat owners and he basically thinks he is a cat too 😅
